Please treat as Gift Aid donations all qualifying gifts of money made from the date of this declaration and in the past 4 years. I confirm I have paid or will pay an amount of Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax for each tax year (6th April to 5th April) that is at least equal to the amount of tax that all the charities (including churches) and Community Amateur Sports Clubs that I donate to will reclaim on my gifts for that tax year. I understand that other taxes such as VAT and Council Tax do not qualify. I understand the charity will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

Notes:
Please notify the Parish Giving Recorder if you:

want to cancel this declaration;
no longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains. Gift Aid is linked to basic rate tax. Basic rate tax is currently 20%, which allows charities to reclaim 25p on the pound.
If you pay tax at the higher rate you can claim further tax relief in your Self Assessment tax return.
